Ecstatic Goodies
October 28, 2008

A few Thurston related releases are coming our way from Ecstatic Peace. The first one is a killer studio recording of the Flaherty/Nace/Moore trio: "This trio CD is a session Flaherty set up in the late winter of early 2008. There are 3 tracks (�sex�� �drugs� and �lavender�), one short, two looong. It is a primo example of this threesome�s focus and sonic storytelling, ferocious yet pensive".

Out now is also the new Religious Knives album which is titled "The Door" and was co produced by Thurston himself.

Coming soon after are releases by the mighty Northampton Wools (Bill Nace and Thurston) and the Hat City Intuitive featuring Thurston and his brother Gene.

Sonic Youth, initially comprising of guitarist / vocalists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, guitarist / bassist / vocalist Kim Gordon and drummer Richard Edson, were formed in New York City in 1981. A product of the No-Wave music scene of the late 1970s, the group had their roots in abrasive, experimental music, with Moore and Ranaldo having previously worked with the experimental composer Glenn Branca. The band were joined in 1985 by drummer Steve Shelley, and have now recorded 14 albums together, as well as many side and solo projects. Their work has been consistently challenging and innovative, and they are widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and influential bands of their time.
